I've been having issues with my Watch 2 Classic. I've had Android P since it was released for Pixel XL, but the behavior has only manifested itself over the last week or so. I've tried unpairing/repairing, disconnecting bluetooth on both the watch and the phone as well as restarting both the...

I bought my Pixel XL in June last year. I didn't know about the microphone problems until recently when I started experiencing problems of my own a couple weeks ago. People regularly tell me they either can't hear me or they just say 'hello' repeatedly until they hang up. I do have my phone in a...

Thanks for the responses. I didn't realize the S3 had a glass back, but that could be helped by a rugged bumper case. I was kind of leaning towards the Tab A as an option just because of the price. The only reason I would have considered S3 was that I might use it as well. It just so happens...

Thanks, chanchan05. I'd probably be looking at the 9.7 of the S2 or S3 and the 10.1 Tab A, which I believe you can also get with an S pen. I'd either get her one with an S pen or an active stylus like you suggested.

Looking at getting an Android tablet for my daughter for Christmas. She's going to be turning 7 soon as well. Her school uses and recommends a lot of apps for reading and learning beyond their normal school work and she has to use a tablet or a phone for those. I don't let her use my phone and...

Getting it now! So happy to get this before I go on my trip.

Yeah, it's a little too late for me. I've already moved on and picked up a Pixel XL early last week. There were a handful of other phones I had my eye on, but the releases were all too late and I couldn't wait. My phone died and I needed something right then. Oh well. Hope this one does well for...

Thanks! I also have the Pixel XL. So Camera Zoom FX is out for me then. I don't know what the hardware limitation would be though or why it would even exist. I imagine the sensor will heat up and start to introduce noise, but that can be filtered and removed in post with some more advanced...

I'm returning to Android after having been away for a while and haven't kept up with the apps available for the platform. I'm looking for a camera app with a really good intervalometer that allows for really long exposures, up to five minutes, or a bulb mode, and has good control over other...

A six-year-old who grabs for your phone when you're not paying attention could make it all worthless. :D

Is there a good website out there that lets you compare smartwatch capabilities? I've been on the Android Wear site and they have a bunch (not all) of the watches that are Android Wear capable on display, but they don't give any details as to their capabilities, what sensors they have, specs...

Got my eye on both those as well as the Pixel XL and a couple others. Basically they all have positives and negatives and there's not really a clear winner. I like the look and size of the G6 and the fact that I can put an SD card in it, but the support concerns me. The S8/+ has top notch...

While I appreciate the communication, unfortunately for me, it's too little too late. As I said elsewhere, my phone died the other day and I need a new phone now. I was willing to wait a few more days, but this email telling me it could be a few more weeks means it's not reasonable to wait and I...

Well, it's going to be a no from me now. They've taken too long and my phone literally just died a couple hours ago. As much as I was really interested in this phone and wanted to buy one, I can't sit around without a phone for a few days or potentially weeks or months waiting for them to...

It's only going to be available directly from Sprint in the US and Tellus(?) in Canada, but will supposedly work with all major US carriers. If it really is some small software issue, that's understandable and there should be no harm in communicating that to people. That's the concern. That...
